Explanation:

A pendulum's motion can be explained using concepts like gravity and periodicity. Gravity pulls the pendulum bob downwards, causing it to swing back and forth. Periodicity refers to the regular, repeating nature of its motion. The time - interval for one complete swing (period) depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

The pendulum's behavior can be attributed to gravity, which acts as the restoring force pulling it back towards the equilibrium position. Its motion also shows periodicity as it repeats its path at regular intervals.
